Abstrakt:	Purpose: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory disease affecting the pilosebaceous skin units and is linked to several autoimmune conditions. An area of exploration includes the connection between hyperthyroidism and HS. This study aims to investigate and establish the relationship between HS and hyperthyroidism. Methods: The relationship between hyperthyroidism and HS was evaluated using data from the National Institute of Health (NIH) All of Us Researcher Program. A cross-sectional study was performed to assess the prevalence of HS in individuals with and without a history of hyperthyroidism matched by age ranges and health surveys. Relative risk and significance were determined by using standard statistical methods. Results: A total of 407,333 patients were matched by health surveys and age ranges in the control and experimental groups. Among patients with a history of hyperthyroidism, the prevalence of HS was 1.40% compared to 0.38% in the control group. This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.0001 with an OR = 3.717, 95% CI 3.038-4.548). Conclusion: This study demonstrates a statistically significant correlation between hyperthyroidism and increased prevalence of HS. These results justify the need for further research regarding hyperthyroidism's role in HS and the potential screening tools and lifestyle management techniques that may be prevalent for both conditions.
